China makes inroads in Sri Lanka

[samv]

I have to teach you some history knowledge about China-Sri Lanka friendship。
China and Sri Lanka established diplomatic relation in 1957 and since then the two countries have been maintaining a good relationship。
Even 600 years ago our navy fleet led by Zheng He visited the old Sri Lanka and a prince of Sri Lanka came to China with the fleet。His offspring are still living in China。

The Chinese Buddhist monk Fa-Hien was also in Sri Lanka much earlier.

You can continue deluding yourself，
The only thing that old India affected China is Buddhism，which was created by the native Indians（low-caste，dalit）。
And Chinese reformed it with Chinese culture，it changed so much that you will hardly find something related to the original Buddhism。

Buddha was born in Nepal, not India.

Don't listen to the Indians, they believe the whole subcontinent belongs to them. When in fact, the Indus Valley Civilization is based in what is now modern-day Pakistan, and the Buddha was born in what is now Nepal. NOT India.

Wang Xuance, never sounds like a Tibetan name.

He is Han, the Chinese envoy to the old India。

Buddha was born in Nepal, not India.

Well，the old "India"，is not the same meaning with the modern "India"。

Buddha was born in Tarai Region of Nepal which was always historically been part of India. The Indians king who ruled over Terai made Lumbini tax free. It was only recently that Tarai become the part of Nepal.

So if someone draws a line in the sand in mid 20th century , that will erase all our history dating back thousands of years.

India wasn't there thousands of years ago. The subcontinent was full of independent kingdoms.

Indian nationalism only came into existence once India had been created by the colonialists. It did not exist prior to that.

The same can be said about you. Modern China only came into being in 1949.

Care to explain where you have surpassed Japan? Don't come with GDP PPP!

Modern China, yes.

However Ancient China was an entity that existed for thousands of years, having a Central Authority with a clear line of succession from one state to another, all claiming themselves as the same nation.

India? There is no line of succession, or Central Authority. It was interrupted once or twice by a conqueror who claimed much of the area. However these short-lasting empires did not succeed any state, and no state succeeded them.

China has been ruled by a Central Authority for thousands of years. In India this only happened after it had been united by the colonialists.

That means that China existed as a nation with the present geographic boundaries for thousands of years with power concentrated in Beijing.

Only Eastern China is the historical China and Chinese had never been our neighbor.
